How to add a button in a ASP.NET MVC and link a click event from C# code

Question

I'm trying to add a button on my ASP.NET page. I have experience with Windows forms and I know how to link a click event to a button, but in ASP.NET MVC this link is different.

How to make this link correctly so that when I click the button, the click event written in my c# source to be triggered?

ASP.NET MVC doesn't have "events" in the same way. WebForms does, but not MVC. In MVC, you can cause a button click to trigger a controller action method (either via a hyperlink or by submitting a form, or triggering an AJAX request which goes to the URL of the action). I suggest you study Microsoft's introductory ASP.NET MVC tutorial which will introduce you to the basic concepts and also the ways of doing standard tasks such as this. — ADyson

You need create a tag in cshtml file as

<a class="btn btn-primary" href="@Url.Action("YourAction","YourController")">Click</a>

And create method to handle click in controller c# as

public ActionResult YourAction()
{
    //C# code here
}

If you need to do it by passing parameters, first of all add the button in cshtml file

<a class="btn btn-primary" href="@Url.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName", new{ parameter = "value"})">Click here</a>

And finally in the controller create a method

public ActionResult ActionName(string parameter){
       //Your code here
}
